This is a very pedestrian example of how words are used to manipulate and form thought patterns.
Think of the biblical example of a man needing workers and going into the market at 6AM, getting laborers to willingly work for a penny
After some time, he saw he needed more workers, ... hired 'em for a penny
LATER in the day, he needed more help ... hired them for a penny.
After the days' work, everyone lined up to get paid ... the last ones hired in the front of the line
They got their penny and the guys in the back, who'd worked all day figured in their own reasoning, that they'd get paid more because they had worked longer hours.
When it was their turn, they grumbled and complained because all they got was the penny
The master told them, It is what you agreed to, and I can do whatever I want with my money
So ...
People will see "minimum wage increased", when all it is is a published pay scale ... nothing more
Will any MSMer actually dare to ask him how many people this will affect?
Even if there were a lot of people affected, he wouldn’t care about the cost. It’s not his money.
Only problem with that parable - Jesus never says how many laborers showed up early the next day.
